“We can light up stages of the Tour and we bring this incredible story to the Tour. We’re putting African kids on bikes and being at the Tour de France would help that immeasurably” said general manager, Brian Smith.
“I’d like to think that the green jersey is an option to target but we’ll certainly be riding for stage wins. We could bring the first African team to the Tour de France and from that the minimum would be to win a stage.”

The 2015 Grand Depart will take place on the 4th July, starting with a 14km time trial in Utrecht. The riders will tackle 21 stages, covering 3344km in total before the 2015 Le Tour finishes on the famous Champs Elysees on 26 July.

The South African team had signed a number of high-profile riders to boost their hopes of selection, including the all-rounder Edvald Boasson Hagen, Steve Cummings, Theo Bos and Tyler Farrar.

One of the main partners of the team is Castelli, a manufacturer of premium cycling wear, also available in our on-line store.
